Unveiling the neural signatures of adolescents with non-suicidal self-injury behavior: an fNIRS study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behavior among adolescents is a significant public health issue, which brings a range of adverse consequences. However, the specific mechanisms underlying this behavior remain unclear. The current study aimed to investigate the hemodynamic activation characteristics of adolescents with NSSI using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and to explore the correlation of cortical activation with NSSI behavior. Methods: Eighteen adolescents with NSSI behavior and 24 healthy controls (HCs) participated in this study. Cortical activation (frontal and temporal lobe hemodynamics) were examined using fNIRS. Self-harm frequency, Self-harm functions, and personality traits were assessed by OSI, NSSI - AT, and EPQ respectively. Results: The Δβ value in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) area of the NSSI group was significantly higher than that of the HC group, and the activation level of the DLPFC showed a strong positive correlation with the social communication and the expression subscale of the NSSI-AT. Conclusion: The specific manifestation of DLPFC cortical activation in adolescents may serve as a candidate neural correlate for NSSI behavior. Targeted improvement of individual social skills and emotional expression abilities is expected to reduce NSSI behaviors.
